Little Princess

Chapter 9

As I get ready for the Yulemas ball Maria puts me in a beautiful white and gold dress with a pure white mask with gold embroidery and golden colored slippers. I look in the mirror and twirl in my dress and giggle "You look beautiful," Maria tells me as I turn to look at her. I walk to mothers chambers for her approval of the dress before we go. I walk into her chambers and walk over to where she is standing. "You look beautiful, darling," she tells me as she kisses my head softly before we head to the ball. 

We walk in and head to our respected seats as I sit down next to Dorian. "You look amazing, Mar," Dori says as he grins at me "May I have this dance," he says dramatically as he stands up and offers me a hand. "Of course,"  I say as I take his hand and stand up also as we walk to the dance floor. When the dance finishes another lady is waiting to dance with Dorian so I decide to walk around.  I spot Pelor and walk over to him and tap his hand, he looks down at me and smiles. "Hi," he says as he smiles at me, "Will you dance with me?" I ask as I look up at him. "Of course," he says as I take his hand and we walk out on the dance floor. 

After I dance and talk with Pelor a little bit I try to look for Chaol in the room. I spot him across the room and speed walk over to him. "Hi," I say as I grin up at him before he looks down at me "Hi, Magdelina," he says as he grins back at me. He looks up at the staircase so I look in the same direction to see Lilly walking down the stairs in a grey dresses that is absolutely amazing. "Wow," I say as I stare at her dress and her in awe. "Who is that?" I ask as I turn to Chaol as he starts to walk over to the lady. I look closer at her and realize that it's Lilly that walked in, she stands over by Chaol as he glares at every male that walks by. I walk over to where they both are standing and stand in front of Chaol. "She's not going to get anyone to dance with her if you glare at everyone, you mewling quim!" I say as I cross my arms and tap my foot on the ground in impatience. "First of all language-" he says before I interrupt him "It's English," I sass back at him as Lilly stifles her laugh. "Second of all I am not glaring at everyone," he says before he glares at another man that looked at her. "Oh, really?" I say as I draw it out, I sigh before I take Lilly's hand to take her farther away from Chaol so he can't glare. Dorian comes over and asks her to dance so I am left alone again.

I walk over to mother and ask her if I can leave early, "Of course, darling," she says as she kisses me on the head before I leave. I walk down the nearly empty halls and look around before I walk outside. I walk in the snow hearing the crunching under my feet as I look at all the flowers that surround me. The clock tower goes off again as I look at the statues that surround it, I look next to my feet to see a symbol. I kneel to the ground to trace it, it glows once my hand touches the mark. I stand up and walk farther through the gardens until I am high enough to look over the gates that guard the glass castle. I sit down and look over the horizon and imagine what is beyond it. 

When I wake up I am back in my room again, one of the guards must have found me and brought me back. Maria picks out a tunic and pants for me since today is the final day of the Champions Challenge. She gives me a midnight blue cape to wear since it is held outside. I take my respected seat next to Dorian as one of the servants pass me a mug of hot chocolate. I thank them as I take a sip of it and snuggle more into my cape. I set my drink down on the tray in front of me as I turn to Dorian. "Just between me and you, I hope your champion wins," I whisper to him with a small smile. When Nehemia sits down I walk over to her and give her a hug as I see she wears tunic and pants also. I nod my head to her knowing who she will be rooting for before I go sit back down next to Dorian. The champions walk out and stand next to each other with a respectful distance between each other. I look over to where Kaltain is and spot an empty vial she put back in her pocket. The first round goes by quickly and of course Kain wins, I see both Chaol and Nehemia offer Lillian their weapons. She takes Nehemiah's and takes a few swings with it to test that balance. I shift my attention to where Kain is and spot a black ring on his hand, I look over at fathers hand and see a ring that looks almost identical to the one of Kain's hand. 

Something isn't right.
